Good job noticing the different types of transitions. As far as level of abstraction I wouldn't totally agree with a few panels such as the ones that were given 3's. I feel that 3's are very detailed in all aspects of the body structures. The face in particular is more defined and the separation of lines are very distinct.
ReplyDeleteYour argument seems set up already and I like it! Comparing all the different lines you notice each character has and talking about why that might be along with how they are different because of it would be interesting. You could also talk about maybe how the lines on Carmen change throughout your larger project and also mention why that might be.
ReplyDeleteYou commentary considering the lines and time were great; you could definitely use them in a broader aspect for your presentation. You could mention how panels 5-7 were drawn closely together, as if the author wanted to imply that Carmen meddled in others' affairs quite often, as the closeness of the panels implies that Carmen is rushing through each event, as if they are happening back to back. Also, you could mention how the author draws Carmen more abstract than the other characters, maybe to emphasize how she looked younger than she really was, or to increase the disconnect between her and the boys who shunned her
ReplyDeleteOverall you did a very good job on your page. The way you analyzed the time was great and really sets you up in a good position on your presentation. I feel Carmen has darker lines to symbol her anger at that moment in time. I also feel in panel 3, the author is showing the object at a distance, which is why the lines are very thin and simple.
ReplyDeleteThe argument is shown very clearly, so good job on that. I think that maybe your timing is a little off in the first panel transition, but other than that, your time lapses are very accurate. I also think that in the first panel, when you explain the reasoning behind the lines in Vicente and Heraclio's faces, it may not necessarily have meant that Heraclio was worried about less, he could just be a generally more calm-centered person.
